Mary Mwaura

Mary with her students.

Mary has taught at the Longonot Education Center for the last 34 years. Like her fellow teacher, Jane, she struggled to teach her students without sufficient school supplies or a proper classroom structure. When our team first met Mary and her students they were sharing broken pencils and a single exercise book among three or four children.

Despite having struggled with support in the past she has never let this dull her passion for providing the best education she is capable of to her students. She is honored to have taught generations of children from the Longonot Community.

We would love to show how much we appreciate her dedication to her students and community by giving her a wonderful Christmas with her family and friends!

Mary's idea of a perfect Christmas would be:"My perfect Christmas would be eating a nice meal with my family. I would like to cook nyama (grilled meat) and share it with my friends and family."
